Rachel Getting Married
Anne Hathaway breaks out of her candy-coated shell and puts forth a powerful performance as a deeply-flawed drug addict who serves as the nexus of a family haunted by the demons of the past. The deceptively cheery title of this movie belies the utter seriousness of the plot- we entered the theater expecting romantic comedy, and walked out feeling like we were hit by a bus. The movie is good, albeit a little too drawn out during the extended wedding celebration scenes. It touches upon the idea that life is not always easy, and the inherent conflicts that reside within each family signal that not all things in life have resolution.— November 1, 2008 6:52 p.m.
The Mission
If you're in the vicinity of East Village in the morning and are looking for quality portions to fuel your day, roll into The Mission, tucked away off the main drag of Market Street. The menu here has great variety (get the French Toast for filling comfort food, or go for the Zen breakfast if you find yourself requiring something healthy). Bottomless cups of great coffee combined with a laid back atmosphere equals a great place to chill on weekdays. Weekends are busier, but still worth the wait in line.— November 1, 2008 6:43 p.m.
